Kingsley Ononuju, the former commissioner for trade and industry in Imo State, said on Monday that Peter Obi’s candidacy for president of the Labour Party was “the final chance to preserve Nigeria.”
Nigerians, according to Ononuju, the head of the regional organizing committee for Obi’s rally in the state on Tuesday, are “excited” to support him in the upcoming presidential election.
The former APC chieftain provided updates on Obi’s presidential campaign rally in the state and revealed that large numbers of Nigerians were turning out to support the LP candidate.
In February 2023, the state’s presidential campaign council is aiming for nearly two million votes for Obi, according to Ononuju.
He said, “Since becoming an independent nation in 1960, Nigeria has been so beset by agonizing difficulties that seem eager to undermine her very foundation. These difficulties range from a poorly managed economy that manifests in what some have described as hyperinflation, worthless currency relative to the exchange rate with other currencies, to epileptic power supply, the worst and most crippling network of roads in the world, nepotism, official greed, rampant corruption, insecurity, and menacing disease. It’s interesting to note that God, in His unending charity, sent Peter Obi to clean up Nigeria, which resembles the Augean stables Hercules purified in Greek mythology.
“He did it in Anambra State; he instituted a paradigm shift that facilitated economic development, massive road construction, industrialization, improvement in the educational and health sectors, frugal financial management that ultimately led to the saving of over N70billion for Anambra State in what mirrors the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Kuwait and Norway.” Nobody can deny that Peter Obi left Anambra State with a legacy of good government that has persisted to this day. Good leaders, according to Dr. Jennifer Varney, “have a bias for action, focus on relationship-building, exhibit humility, empower others, stay authentic, present themselves as constant and consistent, become role models, and are fully present.”
“The aforementioned summary effectively portrays Peter Obi’s true personality: he is a man of the people, well-educated, and a gentleman with exquisite humility. He is also a man of integrity, with a straightforward outlook but a strong will and spirit. An exceptional leader who possesses all the necessary traits for success. Peter Obi, a billionaire with a simple urbane style, will be the president of Nigeria in 2023.
He is the only former governor who refused to deliberately, voluntarily, and honorably devastate his state with an extravagant and disruptive pension.
Peter Obi, a former governor, has no prior convictions and has never received a questioning request from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
His legendary tale and popularity have reached beyond Nigeria’s borders, and his issue-based electioneering campaign is governed by respect, love, and power.
“Everyone in Nigeria, including the trees, birds in the air, land, and sea, as well as all creatures in Nigeria, are in support of Peter Obi, with the exception of those who have decided to wine and dine with the devil.”
